Where I grew up in western Missouri, we learned our directions, east, west, north and south and gave directions that way. I’ve found that most people do not know these. If I can see where the sun is and know about what time of day it is, I can still use that system. Terry’s directions were good. They weren’t like: “You go about five miles to the corner where Joe Smith’s barn burned down about ten years ago….”

Since Jim didn’t, I will express my thanks and admiration to all our veterans who put their lives on the line to defend our country. I thank you for your service to the country and the Flag you served under. The Flag is a symbol of our Country and when someone disrespects it, they are showing disrespect to our country. They should be severely punished.

Makes sense. It’s probably closer and maybe lower. I bet gettind down that ladder was very interesting. Reminds me of a Pearl Buck book, The Good Earth. Chinese women working in the field had babies and kept on working. It must have not been too harmful There sure are a lot of Chinese.
